01 / THE ARCHITECTURE

Church of the Light

Tadao Ando · 1989Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan

In this small chapel, daylight enters through a cross cut into the concrete wall. The dark interior brings that light into focus. The pen holder translates the recognizable cross into a recessed mark on its front face.
